Relient K, the #1 ranked alternative rock band in the CBA marketplace, has announced an impressive run of tour dates headlining venues from 1000-3000 in capacity, marking the first extensive outing in support of the band’s newly released fourth album Mmhmm. The itinerary, set to begin in early February, will see the Canton, Ohio-based group venturing from Florida to California on what will be only their third tour as headliners. The pop punk trio averages 150-200 live dates annually.

Mmhmm debuted on November 2nd, 2004 at #15 on the Billboard 200 album chart, and has to date sold over 200,000. The debut sales numbers effectively doubled those set in 2003 by the debut of Relient K’s Billboard Top 40 third album, Two Lefts Don’t Make A Right…But Three Do.

The Mmhmm release was further highlighted by a #1 debut on Billboard’s Internet album chart. The band remains one of the most popular artists on the heavily trafficked purevolume.com (see www.purevolume.com/relientk), where they recently passed the rare 1 million plays threshold. The Pure Volume site is now streaming a trio of tracks from Mmhmm.

All told, Relient K has sold over one million albums, with their Grammy Award-nominated Two Lefts Don’t Make A Right…But Three Do and 2001’s The Anatomy of the Tongue in Cheek both nearing RIAA gold status.
